Hi everyone,

I am hoping we can ask for your help!  We have a position open for a Design Engineer to work at the Malawi Polytechnic, and we are hoping you can help us spread the word!!

The position is based in Blantyre, Malawi, overseeing the work ate Design Studio at the Malawi Polytechnic. It involves mentoring students and faculty as they do their engineering design  projects, fostering projects with the community, and seeing the growth and operations of the prototyping facility that is twinned with Rice’s  OEDK.  It’s a really cool job, that calls for engineering skills, and a significant amount of leadership and interpersonal skills.

You can see a cool video of the studio and our students here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JbGYPSn4Tg , and both Matt Petney, who just ended his tenure as studio director, and myself are happy to have informal chats with interested candidates.

This is a really strategic position for our international program, and we are looking  for the best candidates out there! - We have done pretty well in working with you all here  J  SO we are crossing our fingers that you can help us identify other talented engineers!

Thanks!

Vero
